Both Victor C-7027 and Gamma 6004 are for stringing all types of racquet and are of the suspension system type. Whilst suspension system machines are excellent for tennis racquets they are only adequate for badminton racquets, because of its inability to prevent badminton racquet frame distortion. You either get a round frame, a longer frame, sometimes micro tears at the 12 o'clock, and sometimes dents at high noon. This has created all sorts of accessories and devices like pads and load spreaders to try to convert the top post into a load-bearing support, which it is not designed for. It is very difficult to string a racquet, say measuring 675mm long before stringing and finishing at the same 675mm after a string job, at very high tensions every time.
The best stringing machines for badminton racquets are of the hold-down system, where distortion is easily controlled. Its disadvantages are that it is more cumbersome than the suspension system to string and they don't seem to produce many of this system now.

The Victor C-7027 is not a pure suspension type. It has head and throat press down devices. If you want a badminton specific machine go for the Exthree AM 600 or Victor C-7030.

did u have to buy badminton supports for your crump machine? im thinkin about buyin the same one

I believe so. I remember asking Silent Partner about they're machines for badminton. The said all the machines need a badminton kit which has the proper supports and clamps. I think it was around a hundred or so, but don't quote me on it.
